I think it's mainly due to those worthless FIFA World-Rankings placing them 1st for a while (and currently 2nd).
No point in following these Rankings, since they don't take into account against which country you play. So garbage wins against Micronations count as much as beating Argentina or Germany.

Belgium certainly has talented players, they struggle to be a team though. Of course missing most of the Defense didn't help them today.

If Belgium doesn't have as many injuries, they go on and make the final. Their best defensemen were all either out or playing in a different position than with their club teams. Imagine this team, but with Kompany to lead them. Different story.

In the end, a weak champion, for an overall weak tournament.
Way too many boring games. Not even really the fault of the bloated competition, but style of play is just too boring.
Teams played one of two styles: "Park the Bus" or "Controll the ball"
Both not very exciting.

it has been too long since they have won the pl or had a cl run. hard to convince world class talent that fa cup titles and third/fourth places is enough. team just is not competing for wenger right now
